Reagent for blood analysis and method of using the same

摘要

A reagent for blood analysis includes: (1) a compound having the general formula I; and (2) at least one surfactant selected from cationic surfactants and nonionic surfactants. In another aspect a method for differentiating and counting blood cells is provided, the method includes the following steps: (a) mixing a blood sample with the reagent for blood analysis according to the present disclosure to form a cell suspension; (b) detecting scattered light signals and fluorescence signals of cells in the blood sample; and (c) differentiating and counting the cells in the blood sample based upon the scattered light signals and fluorescence signals. The reagent for blood analysis may be effective for identifying and counting erythroblasts and/or basophils in a blood sample to be detected, and meanwhile counting leukocytes therein.
